School  Report. 


Gentlemen  of  the  School  Board: 

I herewith  submit  the  annual  report  of  the  condition  of 
the  city  schools  for  the  year  1905-6. 

The  average  work  and  attendance  has  been  quite  satisfac- 
tory during  the  year.  The  course  of  study  adopted  last  fall 
called  for  some  attention  to  geography  in  the  IV  grade. 
The  teachers  say  that  the  pupils  are  making  considerable 
progress  in  this  study  and  that  they  will  be  able  to  gain  a 
fair  working  knowledge  of  the  small  geography  while  in  the 
V grade,  in  consequence  of  this  earlier  start. 

The  work  in  drawing  has  shown  good  results,  especially 
m the  lower  grades.  To  do  good  work  in  this  study,  the 
hand  and  eye  should  be  trained  while  young.  Pupils  in  the 
higher  grades  are  not  willing  to  practice  the  simple  things 
required  to  illustrate  the  principles.  Educators  of  the  pres- 
ent time  are  taking  more  and  more  interest  in  the  study  of 
nature,  of  the  things  that  are  transpiring  about  us  each  day, 
and  have  demonstrated  that  the  child  who  has  been  trained 
to  observe  the  natural  phenomena  of  every  day  life  will 
more  readily  solve  the  problems  that  arise  in  the  routine 
work  of  the  school  room.  Mr.  Powers,  Prin.  of  the  High 
school,  arranged  a plan  of  nature  work  for  the  grades  below 
the  High  school.  This  plan  has  been  printed  and  placed  in 
the  hands  of  the  teachers.  Considerable  attention  has  been 
given  to  this  subject,  at  odd  moments,  during  the  year. 

Fifty-five  pupils  from  the  IX  grade  of  our  schools  came 
up  for  the  final  High  school  examinations  at  the  close  of  the 
June  term.  Thirty-nine  were  awarded  diplomas  and  given 
certificates  of  admission  to  th  TT'gh  school.  The  examina-

tions  were  perhaps  a little  harder  than  last  year,  the  passing 
mark  being-  established  at  60  per  cent. 

While  most  of  the  teachers  have  remained  in  the  schools 
during-  the  year,  the  Highdand  Ave.  School  has  had  several 
changes.  Miss  Barker  resigned  at  the  close  of  the  Spring 
term  and  Miss  Edith  Lander  was  elected  to  succeed  her. 
During  the  fall  term  Miss  Lander  received  an  offer  of  a 
:school  in  New  Britain,  Conn,  and  Miss  Marian  Tasker  ac- 
cepted the  place  left  vacant  and  is  still  teaching.  Miss  Villa 
Knight,  who  taught  in  the  same  school  during  the  Spring 
term,  also  resigned,  and  Miss  Rebecca  J.  Tarr  was  elected 
to  fill  the  vacancy. ' At  So.  Gardiner  Miss  Agnes  Moulton 
was  appointed  to  the  Intermediate  school  formerly  taught 
by  Miss  Small.  Mrs.  Thurlow  resigned  from  the  Lawrence 
school  and  the  School  Board  secured  the  services  of  Miss 
Tilla  Lawrence.  Miss  Mattie  Foster  was  employed  as 
assistant  teacher  at  Central  St.  during  the  Fall  term,  but 
she  resigned,  and  Miss  Julia  Clason  was  engaged  for  a short 
time  to  fill  the  place.  Afterwards  Miss  Annie  Brann  was 
elected  to  the  position.  During  the  fall  and  winter  terms 
Mrs.  Morgan,  formerly  Miss  Barker,  has  rendered  much 
assistance  byway  of  substituting  for  other  teachers. 

I wish  to  testify  to  the  thorough  and  painstaking  work  of 
the  teachers  during  the  year.  If  the  citv  could  afford  to 
employ  more  teachers  and  furnish  accommodations  to  give 
each  one  fewer  pupils,  in  some  cases  better  work  might  be 
done.  Especially  is  this  the  case  at  Central  St.,  where  the 
room  will  probably  be  too  small  to  accommodate  the  VI  and 
VII  grades  when  the  fall  term  begins  in  Sept,  and  one  grade 
must  be  taken  out  of  the  building,  a change  which  cannot 
fail  to  be  detrimental  to  the  work.  Thismhange  might  be 
obviated  by  adding  another  room  to  the  building,  and  if  this 
were  done  this  school  would  have  accomodations  similar  to 
those  of  the  Highland  Ave.  building,  and  the  Principal 
could  continue  to  have  a general  oversight  of  the  work  in 
the  four  grades,  and  the  programme  could  be  so  arranged 
that  she  could  be  in  touch  with  all  the  pupils.  The  advan- 
tage of  such  an  arrang-ement  has  been  fully  demonstrated 
in  Mr.  Douglass’  school.  I am  aware  that  the  Finance

/ 

Committee  dislike  to  have  such  a proposition  come  before 
them,  when  their  burden  seems  already  more  than  they 
could  bear,  but  I am  stating  a plain  fact,  and  should  the 
school  population  increase  to  any  amount,  the  Plummer  St. 
building  will  be  too  crowded  to  admit  Grammar  grades.  To 
do  the  children  full  justice  at  Plummer  St.  we  need  the  ad- 
ditional room  and  another  teacher  now. 

An  unexpected  collapse  of  the  furnace  at  the  New  Mills 
building  caused  an  outlay  of  $350;  otherwise  the  repair  bill 
would  have  been  comparatively  light.  The  appropriation 
for  the  Spring  St.  house  was  expended  for  stone  piers  under 
the  rear  end  of  the  building,  which  have  served  the  purpose 
of  keeping  the  brick  work  in  place.  Hard  wood  floors  have 
been  laid  in  the  upper  rooms  at  the  New  Mills,  the  Central 
St.  building  has  been  painted  inside  and  the  usual  minor  re- 
pairs attended  to. 

The  Primary  Schoolhouse  at  So.  Gardiner  should  be 
shingled  and  painted  this  summer  and  considerable  repairs 
should  be  made  at  the  Lawrence  building;  and  it  would  be 
economy  to  change  the  steam  piping  at  the  New  Mills  for  a 
larger  size  as  it  requires  much  more  fuel  to  force  steam 
through  small  pipes  than  if  they  were  of  proper  size. 

An  association  of  teachers  called  the  Cobbosseecontee 
Teacher’s  Club,  including  the  teachers  and  school  officers  of 
Gardiner,  Randolph  and  Farmingdale,  was  organized  last 
June  and  has  held  regular  meetings  with  full  attendance  on 
the  first  Thursday  of  each  month.  These  meetings  have 
proved  of  much  educational  value  and  interest  to  the 
teachers. 

Especial  attention  has  been  directed  to  bringing  the  stray 
lambs  into  the  fold,  and  the  truant  officers  have  labored 
faithfully  and  with  good  results.  While  the  number  of  chil- 
dren between  5 and  15  years  of  age  is  less  than  it  was  three 
or  four  years  ago,  the  attendance  has  been  kept  up  to  the 
standard,  showing  the  result  of  the  effort  made.  The  ap- 
pended reports  of  the  Principals  of  the  Grammar  Schools 
and  Supervisor  of  Drawing  will  show  what  has  been  accom- 
plished in  these  departments;  and  the  financial  report  will 
give  some  information  on  the  expense  account.

CENTRAL  STREET  GRAMMAR  SCHOOL. 

To  the  Supt.  of  Schools: — Complying- with  your  request, 
I herewith  submit  the  following-  report  of  Central  St.  Gram- 
mar School  for  the  year  1905-6: 

The  school  consists  at  present  of: 

Forty-six  pupils  in  Grade  VI. 

Twenty-eight  pupils  in  Grade  VII. 

Twenty-three  pupils  in  Grade  VIII. 

Twenty-five  pupils  in  Grade  IX. 

There  is  still  a great  need,  as  there  was  last  year,  ot 
another  class  room  and  more  dressing-rooms,  as  the  lower 
classes  are  even  larger  than  they  were  then.  The  work  in 
both  rooms  this  year  has  been  supplemented  by  Miss  Foster 
in  the  fall  term,  and  by  Miss  Clason  or  Miss  Brann  in  the 
winter  term.  With  the  personal  help  which  these  teachers 
have  given,  some  pupils  who  were  behind  their  grade,  have 
been  able  to  make  up  work  and  remain  in  their  classes. 
Much  valuable  aid  has  also  been  given  in  correcting-  written 
lessons  and  in  doing  other  clerical  work  which  takes  so 
much  of  a Grammar  School  teacher’s  time.  But  such  a 
teacher  needs  better  accommodations  than  we  have  at  pres- 
ent:— viz,  a desk  in  a small  dressing'-room  that  serves  for 
sixty  girls.  I urge  again,  therefore,  the  necessity  of  an 
addition  to  the  building,  and  the  continuance  of  the  third 
teacher  in  the  school. 

The  walls  and  ceilings  of  both  rooms  were  tinted  and  dec- 
orated last  Slimmer  and  other  improvements  made  to  the  in- 
terior, which  add  much  to  the  attractiveness  of  the  class 
rooms.  Several  pieces  of  statuary  were  also  added  to  the 
decorations,  and  another  fine  collection  of  books  for  the 
Library  has  been  received  from  the  Sophronia  Hopkins 
Humane  Society. 

Last  summer  the  pupils  became  interested  in  the  prize 
offered  by  the  Improvement  Society  for  the  best  kept  school 
grounds,  and  although  other  schools  won  the  prizes,  the 
improved  appearance  of  our  grounds,  and  the  interest 
arroused  in  the  young  people,  more  than  repaid  for  all 
effort  put  forth.  A new  plank  walk  will  soon  be  needed  in 


5 


the  front  yard,  and  when  this  is  laid,  I recommend  that  a 
walk  of  some  kind  be  made  from  Highholborn  St.  through 
the  back  yard  to  accommodate  pupils  who  come  from  that 
direction. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

CLARA  M.  BURLEIGH.

HIGHLAND  AVENUE  GRAMMAR  SCHOOL. 

To  the  Supt.  of  Schools: 

I hereby  submit  a report  of  the  Highland  Ave.  school. 

Generally  speaking  the  school  has  been  in  a very  flourish- 
ing condition. 

Perhaps  the  greatest  drawback  this  year  has  been  the 
continuous  changing  of  teachers.  There  have  been  two  teach- 
ers for  the  sixth  grade  and  three  assistants  in  my  room  dur- 
ing the  past  year. 

There  is  nothing  that  will  retard  a school  quite  as  much 
as  a new  teacher  every  term. 

The  attendance  has  been  about  the  same  as  last  year, 
there  being  about  two-hundred  pupils  in  the  building,  the 
average  attendance  has  been  very  good,  what  few  truants 
there  are  have  been  well  looked  after  by  Officer  Looke. 

Our  library  is  a source  of  much  pleasure  to  both  teachers 
and  scholars,  we  have  about  six-hundred  volumes  now,  hav- 
ing added  about  seventy  this  year,  some  being-  generously 
donated  by  the  Humane  Society  and  others  bought  Vith  the 
money  given  by  the  Reporter- Journal  for  winning  the  voting- 
contest.  It  is  our  intention  to  divide  the  books  into  grades, 
confining  each  grade  to  the  books  selected  for  them  and  mak- 
ing the  reading  of  certain  books  compulsory.  In  that  way  we 
shall  be  able  to  some  extent  to  guide  the  child  in  selecting  its 
reading  matter.  We  have  also  added  six  large,  nicely 
framed  pictures,  also  secured  with  the  money  received  from 
the  Reporter- Journal,  which  adds  to  the  beauty  and  cheer- 
fulness of  a school  room. 

In  regard  to  repairs,  there  are  but  few  needed;  one  is 


6 


some  larger  seats  for  the  8th  and  9th  grades,  as  some  of  the 
larger  boys  and  girls  have  to  sit  with  their  knees  in  the 
aisles  being  unable  to  get  them  under  the  desks.  The  only 
other  need  is  the  repairing  of  the  boys’  basement  which  is 
in  a very  unsanitary  condition.  Otherwise  the  school  is 
well  equiped  and  it  only  remains  for  the  teachers  and 
scholars  to  continue  their  faithful  work  that  the  best  results 
may  be  obtained.  H.  L.  DOUGLASS. 

MUSIC  AND  DRAWING. 

Mr.  C.  O.  Turner,  Superintendent  of  Schools: 

I take  pleasure  in  submitting  the  report  of  my  second 
year’s  work  as  Supervisor  of  Music  and  Drawing. 

The  work  in  these  branches  has  been  carried  on  more  ad- 
vantageously this  year  owing  to  a better  acquaintance  with, 
pupils  and  teachers. 

The  pupils  have  evinced  a marked  improvement  in  sight 
reading  and  have  attained  a much  better  quality  of  tone  pro- 
duction. 

Written  examinations  in  Music  have  been  given  during 
the  year  and  these  have  had  a tendency  to  encourage  greater 
effort  on  the  past  of  those  who  are  not  especially  musical. 
Each  pupil  is  required  to  learn  the  theory  of  music  and  these 
examinations  help  to  show  the  results  of  the  pupil’s  efforts. 

The  results  obtained  in  Drawing  have  been  much  more 
gratifying  this  year.  Much  improvement  has  been  made  in 
the  pupils  ability  to  see  and  interpret  and  to  appreciate 
beauty  in  form  and  color. 

I wish  to  thank  the  teachers  for  their  generous  co-opera- 
tion and  conscientious  efforts  in  carrying  on  these  branches 
of  study  and  the  school  officials  for  the  many  courtesies 
shown  to  me. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Feb.  23,  1906.  MAY  E.  GOULD. 

SO.  GARDINER  GRAMMAR  SCHOOL. 

To  the  Supt.  of  Schools: 

I have  the  honor  of  submitting  to  you  my  annual  report 
of  the  So.  Gardiner  Grammar  School. 

This  year  has  not  differed  materially  from  other  years 
except  as  each  grade,  just  ending,  brings  new  and  varied 


7 


experiences.  The  teachers  and  pupils  hav®  worked  faith- 
fully and  in  harmony,  and  the  usual  amount  of  work  has 
been  accomplished. 

At  the  end  of  the  Spring  term,  exercises  suitable  for 
graduation  were  held  in  the  school  building.  The  ninth 
grade,  composed  of  five  scholars  received  their  diplomas. 
Three  of  these  scholars  are  continuing  their  work  in  the 
High  School. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Fall  term  we  registered  forty-six 
pupils.  The  largest  number  for  several  years. 

Miss  Carrie  Stone  was  elected  to  fill  Miss  Fogg’s  place. 
I find  in  her  a proficient  teacher,  an  able  and  congenial  as- 
sistant. The  pupils  in  her  departments  are  making  good 
headway. 

The  average  attendance  of  the  scholars  is  very  good. 

The  ninth  grade  numbers  eleven , and  as  a whole  is  taking 
marked  interest  in  their  work. 

I think  the  pupils  show  considerable  improvement  in  the 
special  branches,  music  and  drawing. 

We  are  following  in  general,  the  plan  of  study  as  laid  out 
by  the  new  course  of  study. 

In  nature  work,  the  scholars  made  a very  large  collection 
of  common  seeds  in  the  fall.  This  winter  we  have  studied 
several  charts  from  the  Tiffany  nature  cabinet  which  have 
been  very  much  enjoyed  and  beneficial  results  are  seen. 

We  are  exceedingly  grateful  for  the  donation  of  a number 
of  choice  books  to  our  school  library  by  the  Humane  Society. 
In  other  ways  the  library  has  been  added  to  this  year. 
These  books  are  in  constant  circulation  and  I believe  are 
creating  a desire  for  good  reading  among  the  pupils. 

Arbor  Day  was  observed  by  setting  out  a tree  and  other- 
wise clearing  up  the  grounds.  Thanksgiving,  Christmas 
and  the  special  patriots’  birthdays  have  been  observed  with 
appropriate  programs. 

I appreciate  the  efforts  put  forth  by  the  School  Board  to 
keep  the  school  building  in  repair  and  to  make  it  pleasant. 

Thanking  the  superintendent  and  Board  for  all  favors  and 
courtesies.  I am, 

Very  respectfully, 

FLORENCE  E.  COBB.
